Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy during a Wednesday hearing criticized climate researcher Geoffrey Supran over controversial posts he reposted on X, formerly Twitter.
Supran in December retweeted a post by a group called Climate Defiance, which has made waves with its confrontational protests targeting corporate executives, Biden administration officials and prominent Democrats. Kennedy alleged Supran’s repost indicates his support for the organization and pressed him on backing the group that in March called Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia a “sick fuck.”
